So extreme were Santorum’s evangelical views that it sometimes seemed as though he were running not for president but for a slot in the Holy Trinity. In an interview with a Christian blog, he said, “One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea. Many in the Christian faith have said, ‘Well, that’s okay. Contraception’s okay.’ It’s not okay because it’s a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.”
